Experience

  • Book Collector
    https://github.com/buckleycd/BookCollector

    A simple database designed to track a collection of books. The project is deliberately kept simplistic, so any developer can pick up the design and work with an ORM tool without needing to map to stored procedures. This is a personal project and was not sponsored by clients.

  • Data Warehouse

    Designed and implemented an automotive parts inventory data warehouse using the Dimensional Modeling methodology.

    The warehouse is fed data from an OLTP system, CSV files, and a proprietary format for the parts catalog.

    The warehouse was built within six months with a team of four. The team was responsible for geographic hierarchy, customer dimensions, and some of the reporting.
